[SOLVED] Wireless won't work

[ThatBlueBox]

My wireless has stopped working for some reason. It has stopped working when I installed windows 10 so I decided to install Linux mint because I thought that it might fix it. The Ethernet still works.

I have the Toshiba-Satellite-C50Dt-B

Copy the results of this command from Terminal and paste the results in between code tags:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

This is what I got:

Opened up my laptop to see if it was hardware related, when i plugged my battery back in it must have fixed it as the wireless started to work.
Must have been a setting in the BIOS....
